I Don't Know The Breaking Story But

I trust these people when they say it is huge. They were right on the taxes story. It might be the China story if tonight was a lead-in to something much bigger. But once the Judge in the Maxwell case set the date to Thursday, given the time frame that was explained to me, my alarm bells went off. Also apparently Trump had something whispered to him before he went bonko on Lesley Stahl right about the time the judge released that order.

Who if you know the name, is not the kind of person that makes one go bonko.

I think it is the Maxwell depo. Edit: can't do a poll. Not Star Member.

I swear that on my Grandfather and Grandma's grave, the latter of which died of dementia related heart failure two years ago.

On this very date.

So I am not fucking with you.

But I will not retaliate with counter ad hominem posts.

If I got bad info then so be it. Life is too short to waste it arguing over the trivial.

and as long as you abide by the TOS, which we members don't decide either. I see no reason why you would be encouraged to leave by anyone even if your prediction doesn't come true. You're discussing some information in good faith based on contacts you apparently have, which is perfectly OK. If it doesn't pan out, that's OK too.

your posts so I do not see a poll needed to stay or go. Bit dramatic and unnecessary and take the posts going after you as a bunch of strangers that really do not matter much, in the scheme of thing.

I got personally called out in a post by name in the headline. Did not know that was allowed. Will not engage or counter. I don't mean harm, I just like to inform people, it is what I have always done.

It is better to be classily anonymous than trashily famous.

calling out a member of the community). Maybe it just wasn't alerted on, or, if it was, a jury didn't feel that it met the criteria. It happens.

I say all this to say, hang in there. It's a shitty time where we're ALL (understandably) on edge, cautious, and yes, maybe a little suspicious.

I personally enjoy your posts, and time will tell if they bear fruit (bare fruit? Shit, I NEVER get that right). But that's not nearly as important as intentions. And as long as intentions aren't nefarious, you're ALWAYS welcome here in my book.

be about that, but just wait. Even people that might be willing to cheat for Trump, now can't be confident they can pull it off and have their asses covered. As in if Trump loses, they wind up in prison. So now if they have been approached with anything, they may feel they have to blow the whistle to be safe.

She lives in Canada, and she's not on social media because of privacy concerns. And he's not allowed to have any pictures of her because of her exclusive contract with a modeling agency that he's not permitted to name.

But she totally exists. Honest!

Someone can have insider information and present it without attention seeking. Or they can present it in the most dramatic way possible to maximize their personal benefit from releasing that information (or in this case, not releasing it).

Other words being used are "historical, unprecedented, discombobulating, and "will politically end the GOP."

For myself that sent alarm bells off that this is spam.

Plus your writing this as if your a kid telling his friends lies.

You swear on your grandparents grave, who died of dementia related heart failure.

Here's the thing......

Both your posts are written like you are taking the piss, to see how dumb people are.

There is nothing at all that you have said, that would make me want to further investigate and
I believed in fitzmas and Mullermas.

It will be redacted and they certainly wouldn't allow people named in her deposition to be made public without legal proof of their involvement.
Even if Trump was named as doing heinous things, unless there was evidence and a pending lawsuit in the works he couldn't be exposed.

It’s just so sensational and titillating and creates a frenzy of conspiracy theories and speculation that I just think it’s bound to disappoint when it ultimately doesn’t pan out exactly how people want it to pan out.

I’ve pretty much stashed it with the tabloid trash to be honest.
